I often hear that atheism leads to lesser morals or that because atheists exist, America is on a godless spiral downward into oblivion.

It’s hard to imagine how the roughly 3% of the population that identify themselves as atheists has all this power, but it must be true.

After all, some Christian bloggers say it’s true.

Take this post by someone who literally says atheism has turned America to Sodom and Gomorrah.

Yes, that’s right – the 3% of atheists in America has led the country right into the shitter.

Damn you, small minority of atheists! Damn you!

America is now Sodom and Gomorrah reborn and atheism is to blame. It has infiltrated the West with its stupid ideology of a Godless existence, and we are all paying the prize for it. Our dear country founded on the rock of Peter has been demolished and we are being lead by men and women that do not have the fear of God in them.

I’m also not sure what ‘the fear of God’ would do. I mean, almost all of the politicians now in power are Christians. It doesn’t seem to stop them from saying hateful things or from passing laws (or trying to pass laws) that would continue oppressing minorities, such as same-sex couples.

But why let facts get in the way of a good rant against atheists.

Human beings no longer have patience, they shoot and kill other humans like animals. Men and women proudly stand at the mountain tops proclaiming their love of sin. Children are murdered by their own parents.

So what evidence do you have that Americans have less patience now than they did before, and how do you link that to atheism? Does atheism teach less patience? Because as far as I know, atheism is merely a lack of belief in God(s). It doesn’t teach squat.

As far as ‘shooting to kill’, I’m presuming you’re talking about the 1950’s to now. But if you look at the statistics, you’ll find the homicide rate remains about the same. In 1950 the homicide rate was 4.6 per 100,000 and in 2013 it was 4.5. So actually, there was a slight drop in the homicide rate.

In a world where God doesn’t exist so is morality, therefore humans are consumed in their acts of sins, since no God can hold them responsible for any sins.

People can hold people responsible. And again, somewhere in the vicinity of 70%-80% of people in America are Christian. So if all this immorality is taking place, I doubt it’s the 3% of atheists who are the majority of the problem.

Their lack of discipline and responsibility has driven our society to the brink of destruction. Becuase of our atheistic believes the men and women of God trying to do good in other nations in the name God, are continuously threatened with death.

Do good?

You mean the drone strikes killing innocent people? Or the wars America is currently engaged in, which has caused hundreds of thousands of deaths overseas – many of which were innocent civilians? Or maybe how the President said he had talked to God, before he began a needless war in Iraq?

None of that has anything to do with world mistrust. It must be the atheists. The same atheists that don’t really hold any power in the U.S.A.

Atheism is what they fear not the religion of christianity but since the west has somehow infused them together in a new form of, what is now called democracy, those foreign nations do not want anything to do with it, therefore hindering the spread of the Godpel of Christ Jesus.

So…atheism is responsible for democracy?

What the hell?

And you think democracy is a bad thing? What would you prefer? A theocracy, maybe?

Their fear of eternal damnation for their sins, and desire to live a life free from the supposed constraints of religion, has driven them to adopt the so called perverse ideology of free will from God’s control, to a life of immorality that has turned our nation to Sodom and Gomorrah.

Wouldn’t FREE will mean you’re not under the control of anything, including a celestial dictator?

But let’s hope your God doesn’t decide to rain down death on America like he supposedly did against Sodom and Gomorrah:

23 By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land.24 Then theLord rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the Lord out of the heavens.25 Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, destroying all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land.26 But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.

Eek! Maybe someone should teach Yahweh a little patience. Has He been hanging with atheists too long?

I’ve decided to tackle some conspiracy theories on this site. I’ve always been a sucker for a good conspiracy theory; they fascinate me to no end.

The first conspiracy I’d like to write about are the Georgia Guidestones. Some people believe that they’re a version of the Anti-Christ Ten Commandments and herald the coming of Jesus’ arch-nemesis:

Based on my study of the New Age Movement, I have no doubt that the Georgia Guidestones are an expression of the basic philosophy of that movement. Since Satan is using that movement to herald the emergence of a universal False Messiah, I can only conclude that the Georgia Guidestones may well contain the ten commandments of the Anti-Christ.

Others believe the guidestones are the product of a shadow group that wants to usher in a New World Order:

Certainly the group that commissioned the Georgia Guidestones is one of many similar groups working together toward a New World Order, a new world economic system, and a new world spirituality. Behind those groups, however, are dark spiritual forces. Without understanding the nature of those dark forces it is impossible to understand the unfolding of world events.

The stones have been defaced several times by religious or political conspiracy buffs who believe the stones are the beginning of some sort of mass extinction of the human race. I’m not sure why they believe vandalism would change anything, but I don’t think rationality is a top priority of people who think they can just destroy property that doesn’t belong to them because they don’t like what it says.

Regardless, the stones are shrouded in mystery. Only two people know who commissioned the stones, and one of them is dead. The other has said they will take the secret to their grave. The person who had the stones built went by the fake name, R.C Christian:

The identity of the man who called himself “R.C. Christian” is a secret that Wyatt Martin, the banker who acted as his agent in Elberton, vows to take to his grave.

“He told me, ‘If you were to tell who put the money up for this, it wouldn’t be a mystery any more, and no one would come and read it.’ That had to be part of the attraction, to get people to come and read his 10 rules that he came up with,” Martin said.

Even the fake name has spawned conspiracy theories.

What does the ‘R’ and ‘C’ stand for? Why is the last name ‘Christian’?

Some people believe the R.C might stand for Roman Catholic, while others believe the stones were commissioned by the Rosicrucian Order.

It’s commonly thought that the man calling himself R.C. Christian, the same man directlyresponsible for the creation of the guidestones, did so in homage to Christian Rosenkruez. Rosenkruez was the founder of the mystical theology known as Rosicrucianism. Christian Rosenkruez was once known as “Frater C.R.C.”, so when you combine his two names, you get “R.C. Christian”. Furthermore, R.C. Christian is thought to be a high ranking Rosicrucian (a follower of The Order of the Rosy Cross, the secret society at the heart of Rosicrucianism). Rosicrucians originated in medieval Germany, and claim to have an understanding of the esoteric truths of nature, the universe, and the spirit world (which they believe have been concealed from the rest of us).

What could these stones say that has people so wigged out?

Well, inscribed on the stones are ten guidelines or principles for humanity to live by, in eight different languages which include English, Spanish, Swahili, Hindi, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese, and Russian:

The four outer stones are oriented to mark the limits of the 18.6 year lunar declination cycle. The center column features a hole through which the North Star can be seen regardless of time, as well as a slot that is aligned with the Sun’s solstices and equinoxes. A 7/8″ aperture in the capstone allows a ray of sun to pass through at noon each day, shining a beam on the center stone indicating the day of the year.

In the event of an apocalypse, these features would allow survivors to reproduce the calendar, clock and compass.

As for the principles, the first one understandably gets the most attention, since it calls on humanity to maintain a population of no more than 500 million. Some people argue that the stones are suggesting we kill off 9/10 of the current population, while others (rightfully in my opinion) point out that the stones were meant to guide survivors of an apocalypse. In that case, they’re not suggesting we kill off people but maintain that population once our civilization and population have recovered somewhat.

However, it is said that R.C Christian said many of the worlds problems could be attributed to overpopulation and that we needed to form some sort of world government to save us from ourselves.

Conspiracy theories aside, that does sound like a New World Order.

As you can see, most of the ‘commandments’ are fairly innocuous. Many of them make good sense.

The stones were erected on March 22, 1980, and below the date on the monument it says, Let these be guidestones to an Age of Reason.

It would seem that the ‘American Stonehenge’ will remain a mysterious set of stones – commissioned by an unknown person for an unknown purpose, perhaps backed by an unknown organization or…demon.

I very much doubt they herald the coming of the Anti-Christ or that they’re meant to usher in a New World Order. I don’t think that the stones were erected by a secret sect of a Luciferian order, either.

What I think is they were erected by a person or organization who thought a mass extinction was about to arrive, perhaps in the form of a nuclear war, since they were erected during the Cold War with the U.S.S.R, where many people feared nuclear annihilation. After all, how many bunkers were crafted during the 80’s by people who thought the end was imminent?

So why not a monument meant to kick-start a new civilization?

Or perhaps R.C Christian (who is rumored to be dead) went to his grave chuckling his ass off at all the controversy and superstitious conjecture his monument sparked.
